A Boumtje Boumtje Interview
No matter how you look at it, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje has had a great 2026 so far. He was on the recruiting radar of course, but wasn’t as prominent as he might have been had he played stateside. Nonetheless, he blew up and after being pursued by the biggest names in college basketball, Boumtje Boumtje […]
2026 ACC High School Recruits
It used to be a lot easier to put together a list of high school recruits, but between the portal, international recruits, and reclassified players, it’s gotten to be a much more complex situation. Really, it’s gone from recruiting season to roster-building season. Some schools hardly bother to recruit high school players anymore. So far, […]

Darren Harris Update
Like most Duke fans, we were really sorry to see Darren Harris go. He’s got a lot of potential. In the past, he was the sort of guy who would emerge around his junior season and become a key contributor. We are in the NIL/portal era now, and it’s very much a dog-eat-dog/sink or swim […]
YouTube Gold: A Young Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley first came to attention as an Auburn Tiger. No one cared about him in high school. First, he was from a very small town (Leeds, Alabama, population around 12,000), and second, he was overweight, and third, he didn’t really grow until he was nearly a senior, and even then, was only recruited when […]
Zach Lowe Has The Boozer Epiphany
Back when Tim Duncan was in college at Wake Forest, people would watch him and think, what’s all the fuss about? Then they’d look at the boxscore and see 26 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 5 assists. In person, he was sort of boring because he never did anything flashy. He was just incredibly […]
DBR Podcast #830 – NBA Draft Preview: Maliq Brown (w/ Jay Bilas)
The NBA Draft Preview series concludes on Episode 830 as we discuss the final Duke player eligible for the draft, Maliq Brown. Once again, Jay Bilas is back to speak on Maliq’s qualities and how his game translates to the next level. He obviously needs to continue to work on his offense, but can his […]

YouTube Gold: Jerry West’s Iconic 60-Foot Shot
Jerry West was a famously complex man. He wrestled with his demons for most of his life, the emotional wreckage of a difficult and traumatic relationship with his father, and a constant battle with depression that tormented him without end. Yet he remains one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history, so revered that […]
Draymond Green On Cameron Boozer
Draymond Green is kind of nuts when he’s working, but no one can deny that he’s an incredibly smart basketball player. He’s built a career as a 6-6 center, at least on defense, something we don’t think anyone has done since Wes Unseld. And while the Warriors have occasionally had big men, as they now […]

Twitter Gold: Larry Johnson Explains Duke’s Stunning 1991 Upset Of UNLV
After UNLV devastated Duke in the 1990 championship game, no one really thought the Blue Devils would prevail in 1991. Well, there were a couple of exceptions. DePaul’s Joey Meyer thought Duke could do it and said so publicly, and of course, Mike Krzyzewski was positive his team could do it. Most people thought it […]

Former Blue Devil Jack Marin Gets A Cool Honor
On a good day in America, we don’t really think about, or much care, where someone comes from. What difference does it make? Be a decent person, do your best, and no one cares about stuff like that. That said, we occasionally wonder about various Duke players’ backgrounds. Spanarkel always intrigued us, and we’ve never […]
Twitter Gold: Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje On Choosing Duke
Here’s a small section of a presumably longer interview with incoming Blue Devil freshman Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, where he talks about why he decided to go to college, rather than playing a year at an American high school, why he chose Duke, and a bit more. As it turns out, the Boumtje Boumtjes discussed the […]
DBR Podcast #828: NBA Draft Preview – Cam Boozer (w/ Jay Bilas)
It’s almost that time! The 2026 NBA Draft is almost upon us, so it’s time to jumpstart our NBA Draft Preview series with Episode 828.. And once again, we’re honored to have Jay Bilas join us! Donald and Jason were able to sit down recently with Jay Bilas to discuss each of the three Duke […]

Teammates on Duke’s 2016 national championship team, Quinn Cook and Jahlil Okafor sit down to discuss their time at Duke and what they love about the program. Here’s a brief excerpt. Hit the link to hear the whole podcast. QK: Let’s talk about 2015 a little bit. You’re one in a long year here. I […]
2026 NBA Draft Links Run
With the NBA Draft coming up in just a week, we’re going to be doing a few links runs, focusing on Cameron Boozer, Isaiah Evans, and Maliq Brown, but going into other aspects of the draft as well. There is still a lot of smoke and mirrors going on. For instance, Darryn Peterson has refused […]
Twitter Gold: Jayson Tatum As A Blue Devil
This video has a pretty cool caption about Jayson Tatum’s decision to become a Blue Devil; “Jayson Tatum never thought he’d go to Duke. He didn’t think kids from where he came from ended up at Duke, and never imagined Coach K recruiting him. Then he took one visit there. He told his mom, ‘We […]
Duke Recruit Bella Fleming, US U18 Team Win Gold Over Canada, 90-72
You probably noticed that Houston’s sensational freshman guard from this past season, Kingston Flemings, is high in the mock NBA Drafts. He’s generally expected to go somewhere between #5 (L.A. Clippers) and #10 (Milwaukee). However, you may or may not know that his sister, Bella, is going to be a freshman at Duke this year, […]
Isaiah Evans Update – A Future Celtic?
If you’re Cameron Boozer, you can more or less relax in the run-up to the draft, because you almost certainly won’t go any lower than #4, and there’s a chance you could go #1. For anyone outside of the projected lottery picks though, you have no certainty whatsoever. Some guys are going to slip while […]
Jared McCain Takes In The US-Paraguay Match
Jared McCain’s NBA career has had an odd start. The former Duke star was a leading candidate for Rookie of the Year last season when he had a knee injury in mid-December. He suffered a thumb injury this year, and Philadelphia had a deeper backcourt rotation as well, and he didn’t get that much time. […]
